On Tree-Constrained Matchings and Generalizations
We consider the following Tree-Constrained Bipartite Matching problem: Given two rooted trees T1 = (V1, E1), T2 = (V2, E2) and a weight function w : V1 × V2 → R+, find a maximu...

Approximating Steiner Networks with Node-Weights
The (undirected) Steiner Network problem is: given a graph = ( , ) with edge/node-weights and edge-connectivity requirements { ( , ) : , }, find a minimumweight subgraph of conta...

An FPTAS for Flows over Time with Aggregate Arc Capacities
We study flows over time in networks with transit times on the arcs. Transit times describe how long it takes to traverse an arc. A flow over time specifies for each arc a time-dep...

Approximation algorithm for minimal convergecast time problem in wireless sensor networks
In this paper we consider how to collect data from sensors deployed in the Euclidean plane in a timeefficient way. We assume that all sensors could adjust their transmission range...

Facility location with hierarchical facility costs
We introduce a facility location problem with submodular facility cost functions, and give an O(log n) approximation algorithm for it. Then we focus on a special case of submodula...

On bounded occurrence constraint satisfaction
An approximation algorithm for a constraint satisfaction problem is said to be nontrivial if its performance ratio is strictly superior to the expected performance of the algorith...

A Note on Approximating MAX-BISECTION on Regular Graphs
We design a 0:795 approximation algorithm for the Max-Bisection problem restricted to regular graphs. In the case of three regular graphs our results imply an approximation ratio ...

A Primal-Dual Bicriteria Distributed Algorithm for Capacitated Vertex Cover
In this paper we consider the capacitated vertex cover problem which is the variant of vertex cover where each node is allowed to cover a limited number of edges. We present an ef...
